i present to you :THE MOBSTERPOD this gangster takes to the track in his custom podracer featuring a classic retro styled pod with rumble seat and hidden dashboard compartments. His engines are notorious for speed as well as their aggressive aesthetic and intimidating appearance.

out of respect for the forums i wont post the machines original moniker.

Man, this thread is filled with so much awesome. The amount of effort everyone seems to have put into their creations is astonishing. I'm almost glad I didn't have time to create a submission. I would've gotten steamrolled for sure. Great work people!

The Great Pharaoh is back ! But he is not alone... He came with his devoted friends... two camels: Sharifa and Chafulumisa. One of the details that distinguish them is the tail color: Sharifa’s tail is red while Chafulumisa’s is blue. Their names means in egyptian language ‘Respected’ (Sharifa) and ‘Fast’ (Chafulumisa). But these are not just simple camels... these are Space Camels which can fly at high-speed (we don’t know their speed secret... only the Pharaoh knows it). Now that he is back, the Pharaoh has created his Podracer (from his pyramid which has on top his precious sarcophagus decorated with gems. His camel friends assure the high-speed that the Pharaoh needs) so that he can participate at races, win them and regain his glory.

When first hearing about the races several years back, the Hazardous Materials guy went to his friend the Construction Worker hoping to collaborate about the biggest, burliest racer out there (so he wouldn't get dinged up by other pushy racers). Unfortunately for Hazmat Guy, he didn't realize that having the biggest pods would mean more thrust around the track... which leads to him freaking out at the controls.

To view the things a little closer, here's a link to the gallery.This is the first MOC I've been truly proud of. I've tried making Pod Racers in previous years in hopes of attempting to enter, but this time I actually succeeded in making something I liked.

Burke the Butcher enters FBTB's 2012 Podracer Contest. His engines are modified meat grinders and arent intended for just livestock. They were rigged to consume any leading competitor and grind them into scraps. The engines also release the remains intending to hit any trailing racers to let them know not to pull ahead.
